Posting again on Twitter. I was physically assaulted by an @Uber driver today on the side of the road in rural Bangalore. No bystander helped. I sustained injuries. He threatened me and tried to take my phone. 1/5

I took an @Uber this afternoon in #Bangalore. The driver argued mid-trip (because I complained the car was dirty) and tried to restrain me inside the car. I ran out of the car forcefully, but he got out and assaulted me on the side of the road. 2/5

He hit me at least 10 times on the head and shoulders, cycling repeatedly. I did not hit back. No bystander helped me. I yelled for help but they all stood silent; he kept hitting me. He gave me death threats and tried to snatch my phone. I suffered injuries on my shoulder. 3/5

@Uber_India support did not help much. I needed emergency help but they refused to send any assistance. I was in fear for my life.

I'm still in a state of shock. I don't have anyone in Bangalore; I just work a job here as an engineer. I'm alone, scared and feel humiliated. 4/5

I need help! I'm scared. @Uber has not done anything worthwhile yet. My DMs are open, please reach out. Help me spread the word. I have also posted the incident on Reddit: redd.it/sfgiyl 5/5

Here are a few pictures of the perpetrator I managed to take mid-assault.

Driver's name: Mr. Vijaya Kumar
Car registration: KA 42 A 6209
